Safe Arrival and Prayer Requests


Well, we are off to a little bit of a rough start down here this week—We arrived safely and smoothly but after a looooooong travel day as always.  Sarah Gore, the Chief Resident from our OB/GYN program, has been total trooper and is really going to do a great job this week I think!  Unfortunately I (Heidi) got really quite sick Thursday night or Friday and am not feeling any better yet.  Sore throat, drippy eye, congestion, and—most importantly—severe body aches and fevers that are in-and-out.  Today I might be feeling a little bit better but I think that is mostly wishful thinking.  Please pray that I am back to full health soon and—especially—that Sarah and Tom don’t get infected!!!!!

Today in a few minutes we will hit the tourist market for a bit and see what we can talk Sarah in to for Guatemalan souvenirs.  Then it will be up to the Missionary Church where there is always a great message preached.  Then we hit the ground running in clinic!  Pray for a manageable patient load and problems that we can help, and that the patients would see God’s love sent to them through us instead of just a snotty and whiny doctor and her friend!

A couple quick pictures that Sarah was nice enough to take this morning-- a shot from the market, the two of us outside our hotel, and the hotel room door for Sarah's room.  The weather is beautiful today so we will hope to get out of clinic in time to enjoy some of it!



Thank you all for following along.  I will try to let you know how it went after clinic tonight…
